Severn Trent Water has gone out to tender with a multi-million pound contract for the provision of water meter installation, maintenance and repair services, including customer interfaces.
The company currently has around 1.66 million meters installed within the region of which approximately 448,000 (27 %) are radio read, 829,000 (50 %) are visually read externally via a boundary box, with the 387,000 balance of (23 %) of the ‘touch pad’ type. The water company is planning to pro-actively replace these over the course of the next 2 years.
Severn Trent’s current policy is to fit a meter in an existing boundary box, alternatively fitting a radio read meter internally, or finally installing a boundary box and meter. This is under constant review.
The utility has an emerging overall metering strategy - external influences and recent changes in the retail/competition arena will further shape the strategy over the remainder of AMP6 and into AMP7.
Severn Trent wants to ensure it awards a contract that both delivers to the immediate needs of the metering strategy and the business and also contains the flexibility to support change and growth around metering at Severn Trent Water.
